For what it's worth as a one-time professional detailer I've found 'Tetrosyl T-Cut' (find it through the web?) to be an absolutely excellent product for restoring paintwork. It comes in liquid form and is perfect for gently and progressively removing paint smears (from other vehicles) plus for eliminating/disguising fine to deep scratches and of course restoring faded finishes. It's easy to apply -and importantly, easy to remove- is safe for 2-pack (clear coat) finishes and contains NO dreaded silicones or polymers. As you may know, these compounds require either careful removal or even sanding back to bare metal before any repainting can successfully be attempted.
Regarding waxes and polishes Tetrosyl 'Trade Polish', a soft green mousse delivers a superb shine for car shows, resale etc, but is not very durable. I don't know whether 'Eagle 1' brand Carnauba paste wax is the best on the market, but I've stuck with it for regular polishing because it is also a 'pure' product and if you build up the finish with a few coats it delivers a wonderful optically clear and slippery shine.
Personally, I wouldn't let a buff anywhere near my car, especially on painted plastic bumpers where the paint adhesion is tenous.
Don't forget to mask up as required with masking tape, and feel free to PM me for any application tips :alien2:
